Style update and Mall of America haul!!

Hello! I just got back from vacation yesterday, so while I am happy to be back and blogging I'm a bit exhausted at the moment (17 days of trekking around the country with your family will do that to you) so please bear with me; it will take a bit to write up a full report >.>
However, I do have a couple of little somewhat vacation-related things I'd like to share with you!! :) First of all, one of my favorite things I did over vacation was go to Mall of America in Minnesota. It was awesome, I definitely recommend going if you ever get the chance (though that might be the mall-lover in me speaking :P ). So, here's my haul for that day:
(ignore the notebook in the background; that's old. I didn't notice that was there until I was uploading this pic :P )
From the Sanrio store: Sugar Minuet stickers, Charmmy Kitty backpack, bow pen, nail art supplies.
Forever 21/Love 21 (F21 accessory/beauty store): Sailor jacket, shimmer powder, eyeshadow palette, makeup puff, eyeliner, bow and cupcake earrings.
From Icing: Pink and lavender hair extensions (SO regretting not getting mint >.> )
From the Disney Store: Marie Plush (I love love LOVE it, so soft and cute!! :) )
From Journeys: Pink Converse
From Claire's: Pink OTK rose socks
From Wall Drug (not part of MoA obviously, but I wanted to include it in here): Black star necklace

I... may have gone a TEENY bit overboard :P Nonetheless, though, I was pretty proud of myself! I didn't have that much money to begin with, and I still had some money when I was done, so I thought I stretched my money pretty far. My favorite things I got would have to be either the Marie Plush (SUPER cute and cuddly :D ), the eyeshadow palette (the colours are gorgeous and it was like $6!), or the sailor jacket (it's a really nice weight and reminds me of Victorian boarding schools xD ).
However, when I got home, I found out that while we were gone I had received a package! As it turned out, it was my Sugary Carnival replica!! :D I ordered from Taobaospree, and I would definitely recommend ordering through them if you decide to order from Taobao! My agent was very polite and nice, and even though DoL was very slow to respond to HER (apparently this replica was VERY popular), she still responded quickly and politely to all my questions, and kept me updated on my order at all times :)
Here's a quick outfit shot showing off my order!
Dress/headbow: DoL
Tights: Forever 21
Cardigan: Marshalls (I didn't want to wear it, but I have REALLY bad sunburns on my shoulder and it looks like I was in a fire >.> )

I'm pretty happy with the dress itself, but there were a few flaws (most notably the lace; I was so looking forward to having pony-printed lace then they had the lace from their Milky Planet replica on it instead!! D: ), but overall I think it's a nice weight and it fits very well :)
I promise I'll try to write up the vacation post asap; I apologize for the delay!!
